Could the Policy Tensor be making a statistical error? Is the Trump-Overdose gradient robust? Does it look different in Trump-Obama counties? I have explained Trump's election as the result of despair in Flyover country. Is this result robust or is it spurious? We are interested in structural relationships that are robust to estimation error. In particular, since this is an estimate of the cross-sectional gradient it must be robust to heteroskedasticity and outliers; indeed, OLS as a procedure as well. These concerns motivate the following examination of the stability of the overdose gradient.
